Through damaging their teeth during childhood, or a natural breakdown of the teeth’s enamel causing them to weaken and crack more easily, many people seek restorations of their teeth by looking to cosmetic dentistry and dental crowns. Dental crowns, also known as caps, can help to strengthen existing teeth while restoring their functionality, and protect any damaged, cracked or broken down teeth.

Dental crowns are generally sought after when a tooth has undergone significant decay, caused by smoking, bad dental hygiene and other lifestyle causes, and there’s not enough tooth structure to support a filling or inlay in the tooth. Alternatively, if a tooth has been damaged or fractured, and cannot be built up with composite bonding techniques, or even following a root canal treatment in order to help strengthen the tooth, there are many reasons why a person may be in need of dental crowns. For cosmetic purposes, porcelain dental crowns are generally used to promote a natural cosmetic look to improve the aesthetics of a smile, and our dental crown procedure prices ensure the perfect smile is available for everyone.

Dental crowns in Turkey involve the surgeon grinding down a significant portion of the original tooth, and are put in place in order to support the strength of the tooth. The final result of our dental crowns procedures are immediate, and generally the crowns should be fitted in two appointments within at least a week.

What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, are artificial restorations which sit over existing teeth and cover the outer surface. Dental crowns are used to restore weak, damaged, cracked or worn down teeth. They can also hold denture or bridge in place. Dental crowns restore the size, shape and strength of the teeth as well as improving them.

Dental crowns can be made of an alloy of different metals fused to a porcelain outer shell. They can also be full ceramic and porcelain. Although they are slightly more expensive than metal fused to porcelain crowns, full porcelain or ceramic crowns are better for natural look. Depending on how well you look after your teeth, crowns can last up to 10-15 years.

How are dental crowns performed?

After the patient has a consultation with the dentist and discusses the treatment options, the dentist prepares the tooth for crowning. The first stage is to clean the tooth, remove decays and reshape the tooth by using special dental drill. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Once the tooth is prepared, an impression of teeth will be taken using special “dental putty”. The impression is then sent to a dental laboratory, new crown is fabricated. During lab stage, dentist fits patient with a temporary crown to cover and protect prepared tooth.

On second visit, dentist removes the temporary crown and roughens the outer surface of prepared tooth with a special etching acid to give the dental cement a good surface to bond to. Dentist then sits the crown over tooth to see if it fits with patient’s smile correctly and is the right colour and shape. Once patient is happy with the restoration and how it looks, dentist cements the crown firmly into place.

Results of dental crowns

Tooth with a crown might be sensitive right after the treatment as the anaesthesia begins to fade. Patients may feel hot and cold sensitivity if there is nerve in the tooth. Your dentist might advise to brush teeth with toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. Pain or sensitivity that arises when patient bites usually means that the crown is placed too high on the tooth which can be easily corrected. Crowns made of all porcelain might in rare cases chip. If the chip is minor, a composite resin might be applied to recover the chip with the crown remaining in patient’s mouth. Dental crowns require the same level of care and attention as natural teeth.

Limitations of dental crowns

Crowns should not be the first choice just to improve the aesthetics of teeth because a dentist needs to grind a significant portion of the original tooth away. Less invasive alternatives include veneers or dental bonding. Crowns are required when the tooth supporting the restoration loses its strength, since veneers and dental bonding restorations are only as strong as the supporting tooth.

Risks of dental crowns

On your first visit, the procedure lasts for two to three hours under local anaesthesia. After all the arrangements and initial consultation are done, you may leave the clinic and stay at the hotel on your first day.

What are the benefits of dental crowns?

They are strong, natural and easily applied on the damaged part of the tooth. It is the best way to treat a tooth loss. Crowns are usually used to strengthen and rebuild teeth which are broken or decayed. Crown can be used to give a tooth a new shape and a new colour.

Can I eat and drink normally after a crown has been fitted?

No special diet is required when permanent crowns are fitted. Since they are bounded strongly over the existing teeth, changes in your eating habits will not be required. But you should be careful on eating/drinking very hot and very cold food and beverages.
